Golfers give to Hospice
The Penticton and District Hospice Society received $1200 donation in memory of Dick Ante, a long-time community supporter. This year’s KIDSPORT golf tournament at the Penticton Golf and Country Club featured a special hole dedicated to Dick Ante, who founded the annual KIDSPORT tournament back in 1999.
Dick passed away this year, so the tournament organizers wanted to acknowledge his support by directing funds to his charity of choice. These funds were supplemented by two participating golfers, Barry Sjolin and Glen Herman.
